The two brushed past each other, and Chen Ge turned back to take another look at the woman. There was a strange smell coming from the woman. It did not smell like perfume but more like the smell of hospital disinfectant.
"Hey!"
Chen Ge stood at the elevator door and called the woman.
Stopping, the woman turned around. Between the gap between the cap and the mask, a pair of beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and they were filled with confusion.
Just from the eyes, the woman looked different from the picture provided by the police. She was probably not the Patient Number 2 that Chen Ge was looking for.
"Are you the celebrity from the television? Can I take a picture with you? " Chen Ge admitted that he was being impulsive. He did not know what to say, so he could only come up with a lousy excuse.
"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else." The woman's voice was very soft like she was not feeling well. Then she walked out.
She seemed to have mistaken Chen Ge for the bad guy, and she practically jogged away.
"She looks different from the picture provided by the police, but Patient Number 2 suffers from Dorling Gray Syndrome and has undergone many plastic surgeries. That face cannot be used as a standard to judge."
With current plastic surgery technology, changing one's head was difficult, but changing one's face was easy.
With the thought that he would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one go, Chen Ge carried his backpack and chased after the woman.
Running out from the third building, Chen Ge followed the woman into the underground parking lot. He circled left and right several times, but the woman had disappeared.
"Where did she go?" There were cameras installed in the parking lot. Chen Ge was afraid that he would be misunderstood by the security, so he did not continue his search and returned to the third building.
Taking the elevator to the fourteenth floor, Chen Ge knocked lightly on Wang Xin's door.
"Is anyone there?"
Footsteps came from inside the room. Someone in slippers opened the door. "Who are you looking for?"
Behind the door was a middle-aged woman in a black and white dress. She had taken good care of herself, and her skin was tight. She looked much younger than her actual age.
"It's me, the one who treated Wang Xin …"
Before Chen Ge finished, the middle-aged woman recognized him. "Doctor Chen! Please come in. I've been meaning to thank you, but I never had the chance. "
"Dr. Chen?" The way the middle-aged woman addressed him made Chen Ge feel weird. Even though this was the first time someone had called him that, it felt strangely familiar. "I'm not a professional doctor."
"You cured Wang Xin's illness. In my opinion, you are the best doctor. Don't be modest. I've asked Dr. Gao about you. Please come in! "The middle-aged woman enthusiastically pulled Chen Ge into the house.
"Sorry to bother you. I'm here today to check on Wang Xin's condition and to inquire about some news."
"There are apples and bananas on the coffee table. Wait a moment, I also have tea leaves from the company."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Chen Ge sat on the sofa. His visit to Wang Xin that day was secondary. His real purpose was to find Patient Number 2 and complete the Tape Ghost's Bloody Heart Mission.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Wang Xin's adoptive mother about this. It was important to maintain his image.
Just as Chen Ge and the middle-aged woman exchanged pleasantries, the bedroom door opened, and a thin girl walked out.
It had been several days since they last met, and Wang Xin's complexion looked much better. Before this, she would never leave her room, but now, she walked out on her own.
She had completely opened her heart before Chen Ge. The girl's tearful words when she hugged the Pen Spirit still lingered in Chen Ge's mind.
Seeing the change in the girl, Chen Ge was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Xin sat across from Chen Ge. She did not seem to be used to communicating with others, and her voice was very soft.
Chen Ge had learned many ways to interact with patients from Dr. Gao. He did not interrupt Wang Xin but listened carefully and considered the problem from Wang Xin's perspective.
Slowly, a smile appeared on Wang Xin's face. After the knot in her heart was unraveled, the girl was eager to interact with the outside world.
After Wang Xin left, the middle-aged woman returned with the brewed tea. "There are too many things in the child's heart, but she refuses to share them with us. It's only because you're here that she can smile so happily. "
Chen Ge accepted the cup but did not drink it. "Wang Xin's condition is recovering well. The treatment is not bad."
He looked at the time and added, "Actually, I have something else to ask you today."
"Go ahead." The middle-aged woman was very cooperative.
"I heard that a building at Fang Hwa Apartments was haunted several years ago? I wonder if that's true? "
Once Chen Ge said that, the middle-aged woman's expression froze. She stood up and silently walked to the door of Wang Xin's room. She listened for any movement inside before leading Chen Ge into the kitchen.
After closing the kitchen door, the middle-aged woman said, "Doctor Chen, I'm not lying to you. It's true."
"It's really haunted?" Chen Ge did not expect the middle-aged woman to sound so certain.
"I saw it with my own eyes." The middle-aged woman pointed at her feet. "At the time, it was the thirteenth floor of the third building that was haunted."
When the middle-aged woman mentioned the thirteenth floor, for some reason, Chen Ge was reminded of the woman that he had met earlier. She had entered the elevator from the thirteenth floor.
"Can you give me more details?" Chen Ge took out his phone to find the picture of the patient from Room 2. Before he showed it to the middle-aged woman, the woman started to talk.
"Fang Hwa Apartments was built twenty years ago. It wasn't this big initially. There were only six short buildings at the front, and the three high-rise buildings at the back were built four to five years ago. I was one of the first tenants."
The middle-aged woman held the cup and started to narrate the strange things that had happened two to three years ago from another angle.
What she said matched Ol 'Wong's description, but the scarier thing was that the middle-aged woman had personally encountered the white shadow outside the door.
She said that in the middle of the night, she heard strange noises coming from outside the door like something was scratching at the door. Initially, she thought it was a cat or a puppy, but not long after that, she heard someone talking.
The middle-aged woman's first reaction was that she had run into a burglar. She walked into the kitchen with the cleaver and looked out through the peephole.
There seemed to be a problem with the voice-activated lights in the corridor; she could only see a white shadow.
The middle-aged woman called the police. She raised the cleaver and slashed at the door many times before the white shadow ran away.
Speaking of the white shadow, the middle-aged woman's story matched Ol 'Wong's. The white shadow ran very fast, but it did not make any footsteps.
"Until now, I still have no idea what that thing was. Then I heard from the police that it was a madman playing tricks on me. " The middle-aged woman put down the cup and sighed. "I took a loan to buy this place, and all my savings went into it. If not for that, I would have moved away a long time ago."
"You've seen the white shadow up close before?" Chen Ge was thinking about the middle-aged woman's words. His eyes occasionally scanned the woman's appearance that did not match her age and the black and white dress that she was wearing.
